Question

There are 380 female students in a class. Male students make up 60% of the class. What is the total number of students in the class

Answer 1

Explanation:

If the males make up 60% of the class then

The females make up 100 - 60 = 40% of the class.

Females = 40% * x where x = the class size.

380 = 40/100 * x

380*100 =38000

38000 = 40 x

38000/40 = x

x =950
